A Bracken Farms Story - What Led Them to Buy a DewPoint Hay Steamer Part 1 of 2

- Howard and his son Kirby Bracken tell the story of their farm, and how their search for a solution to baling too dry of hay lead them to look at and eventually purchase the DewPoint hay steamer. It wasn't until after the Staheli West 72-hour challenge that they knew the Steamer could be that solution.
Howard was my ex bishop in my church and Kirby was also in my church. Awesome guys. I also use to farm out there in Beryl/Enterprise area
I saw one of these combinations in texas yesterday and was thoroughly perplexed as to what it was. Great video.
Thank you for the compliment. Yes, we do have a lot of these in Texas. We hope that this video will build more awareness of this technology.
Congratulations for the good job from 🇫🇷👉👍💪🏻😘🍾🇺🇸
Thank you!

Whats cool here is your guys family history on that land. I am a farm kid with out a farm. Our family farm was homestead after ww1. My uncle's are selling the place off 200 acres at a time. All that family history gone.
jack Burton no offense but I think your uncles can’t deal with failure in the farming industry selling the farm might get you good money but only enough to break even you would get a couple of million but farming is so much better
Thanks Jack. Sounds like you have a cool farm history. I also come from the farm and wouldn't trade those memories for anything. It taught me a lot about life and hard work. It's always sad to see beautiful farms get split up and turn into houses.
@@StaheliWest I own a lawncare and snow plowing business, in Buffalo wy. Maybe someday i can come for a visit.
Absolutely! Let us know and we will accommodate you.
I'm in the same boat at the moment . My dad owns half the farm and his two brothers own the other half. One of his two brothers got his first girlfriend at the age of 70 ish and she lives over the other side of Australia. Beacause of that the other half has to be sold. It breaks my heart because it breaks my dads heart. All those thousands of hours that he spent clearing mostly by hand and the other brother did fuck all. Hadn't even been up to the farm for ten years beforehand. We also had a family orchard 40 odd miles away where we all grew up. My great, great grandparents bought it. He up and sold that too as well as the homestead all the packing sheds, coolstores, land with a HUGE dam on it. I hope she gives him the clap or pisses him off after a couple of years. It's hard enough making a living off of 2000 acres, now it will be chopped in half and be next to impossible. Thanks uncle asshole. I really hope you rot in hell and ya dick falls off.
Pretty cool. I'm out here on the front range of Colorado and we've got similar weather. Sure is frustrating when you can't get enough humidity to put a good bale together.
Yeah, we no longer have to rely on mother nature. When the hay is dry, we know that we can add steam and make high quality hay any time of the day. How many acres do you guys farm? We have quite a number of customers over in Colorado.
This is completely new for me . Never heard of hay being to dry . What %moisture are you talking about when the hay is too dry , and what % when it is ok to bale ? What happens when the hay gets too dry baled ? Is it only a problem in alfalfa , or also in grass-hay ?
Greetings from Belgium. Do you also speak dutch ?
Yes, in the western U.S., Argentina, Western Canada, Mexico, and South America, farmers often deal with hay being too dry. We struggle to get any dew to make quality hay. Having the steamer allows farmers to make quality hay all day and all night without the need for dew.
When the hay is too dry, the leaves will shatter and fall off of the stems. Applying steam to the hay softens and moisturizes the hay so that we retain more leaves. Studies show that baling with steam reduces leaf loss by 58% compared to good natural dew.
It is mainly used in alfalfa, but our customers are also using the steamer on grain hay, oaten hay, 3-way, and grass. Grass is really dusty when it isn't baled with steam or dew, so yes, it is used in grass as well.
I don't speak dutch, but I do speak German. Vielen Dank! Schoene Gruesse aus Amerika.
@@StaheliWest Dankeschön für die Erklärung.
jacky bruckers if hay are to dry when baling, you loose a lot of leafs on any hay, that fall off ore turn to dust..
it also make it harder to press a hard bale, since the stem of the gras act almost like springs.
Goeiemorgen belgie/nl. Goed dat je het zo vraagt! Nu snap ik het ook
How long after baling does alfalfa start loosing protein?....shelf life?
Moin @StaheliWest
Ich hab ne frage: Wofür ist das gerät vor der quaderballenpresse (also das zwischen traktor und presse)
Das ist dazu da um das Heu anzufeuchten, damit dass eine bessere Qualität hat.
Why still run swathers instead of triple mowers. Big M etc ?
Here is a link to the video for the 72-hour challenge that is referenced in the video by the Brackens.

Hello how mamy hetas do you Hebe bececuse 1 hectare
This looks like pinal county Arizona
what the steamer do…or hows it function…nice looking crop
The DewPoint 6210 steams the hay before and during the baling process to soften the crop so that it doesn't become shattered. It helps retain leaves in the bale. It also allows farmers to be more productive, as farmers can now bale hay any time of the day.
Here is a link that will show how the machine works: www.staheliwest.com/steaming-hay/
Quanto costa ciao Giuseppe ITALIA
Awesome
Thank you. Pretty touching story huh!
Wozu dient die Maschine vor der Presse? Wird das Heu angefeuchtet? Mfg
Die Maschine macht dampf, und der dampf feuchtet das Heu an und der dampf macht das Heu weicher und wir dadurch bessere heuballen machen und die blaetter behalten.
Der Dampf wird direkt dort eingesetzt, wo das Heu von der Ballenpresse und weiter in der Ballenpresse aufgenommen wird.
@@StaheliWest Schimmelt das Heu dadurch nicht?
Holy shit did you not watch the vid??

That is some operation what a farm.
Yes, they run a world class operation.
How comes you grow your files in a circle? it’s not really herd of here in the uk ?
The crop is grown under what are called pivot irrgators. the water comes up out of the ground though a pipe. This pipe is the supply and also the one fixed point of the system. Sections about 30 meters long, are support on an upright triangle, with the water pipe at the top and two large (ish) wheels at the bottom. The systems size is determined by the number of these sections the have bolted together, from 4 to 20. They are driven by electric motors and travel very slowly in a circle. As you can see, without the irrigation, it doesn't look so green. There are images of the system early on; 0.18.
Alex Veldhuis thanks Alex for the information I find it fascinating to be fair, as said we brits don’t do that it’s that ever size or shape the field is will work with that. Again thank you for explaining
@@kingg6661 There is one in the Thetford area of Norfolk. There will be others, but they only get used on relatively flat ground.
Alex Veldhuis I’ll have to take a trip and go and have a look thanks
@@kingg6661 google centre pivot irrigation, click images and you'll get the idea. Drive the A11 from Mildenhall to Thetford and you will find it on the left hand side. There may be one on either side just about there.
Here we have the opposite problem
john doe Irish.?
Jonathan Mcaleece we have not had three full days with out rain all summer. Makes it hard to put up DRY hay. In Minn.
I have yours and their problem... In spring early summer rain all the time. In late summer i have to cut grass at evening and start collecting grass in morning even then, grass culd be dry.
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
this is why you dont grow hay in a dessert guys!
Well u cant grow the is kind of hay in a wet climate this is alfalfa hay
Would you hire
We are not hiring at the moment, but we hope to continue to sell more steamers each year, which will lead to us needing more help. You are always welcome to email your resume to info@staheliwest.com.
